Noob question thread! 😀 ask your questions here!

what type of esc/vesc is it cause there was an issue with the unity

Found out why. It happens when I stab it. You’ll see the motor turn normally when I was gradual w the trigger.

Yes, brakes are good.

15499229943751076979301 should this be good for protecting baterrys and motor

That’s a cleaner, not a waterproofing chemical. I’m assuming that’s what you’re looking for?

Switch which motor is connected to which ESC — does it switch which motor does that?

No, that is not good for that. Keep that off of there

I have the unity. I’m currently working w @JLabs to get this resolved.

Just protection really :joy:

If you want waterproof and protection, there are ways to do that, but WD-40 is not the way

MG Chemicals Acrylic Conformal Coating (in the 55ml brush-on bottle) on any heatsinks and motor sensor boards and windings and MG Chemicals Modified Silicone Conformal Coating (in the 55ml brush-on bottle) on everything else, like the circuit boards and stuff

That will make it waterproof. (which is different from water-resistant)

Thanks man , also it was not normal wd40 just ment to clean and ehenhance connection, don’t worry in not gonna use it

Based on the video, it looks like the controller loses sync with the motor. Does it also respond that way if you go from part-throttle to full-throttle, or only from stop? Also, are you running sensors? It might be worth it to redo your calibration if so.

I had something similar with two ESCs over canbus, the slave would stutter a little. I seem to remember that copying the exact config of the master over to the slave and then changing only the couple parameters (enumeration etc) that were required, fixed it for me.

:arrow_up: that, and the answer to this is important to proceed

No, it doesn’t do it when partially throttle to full. I have recalibrated a few times unless I’m doing wrong. I have the unity so no slave.

What would be those parameters?

I plan on swapping the motors to see if it still does it to rule out the motor. It could be the unity itself.

You only need to swap the wires. In fact, not moving them is important too. What if it’s the motor mount or something? I don’t think it is, but you’ll glean more information if you only swap the wires

Swap the phase or sensor wires?
